NEW DELHI: Gold's downward movement continued for the second straight day as the prices fell Rs 20 to Rs 28,850 per 10 grams on Saturday, tracking a weak trend overseas amid easing demand from jewellers and retailers at the domestic spot market. Silverfollowed suit and lost another Rs 70 at Rs 39,000 per kg on lack of buying support from industrial units and coin makers.

Traders said sentiment remained bearish in line with a sluggish global trend on investors' anticipation of higher borrowing costs in the United States (US).

Globally, Gold fell by 0.55 per cent to $1,212.80 and silver by 0.58 per cent to $16.20 an ounce in New York in Friday's trade.

In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity declined further by Rs 20 each to Rs 28,850 and Rs 28,700 per 10 grams, respectively. The precious metal had lost Rs 355 on Friday.
